Short Statement: The Department is assuming that a significant change in public burden estimates have occurred since the last approved ICR (Sept 2014) due to the decrease in expected burden hours. The burden per response was lowered for these instruments based on historical CSAT data. The Department assumes that Site Security Officers (SSOs) are responsible for submitting the instruments associated with this collection. For the purpose of this notice, the Department maintains this assumption. A reduction of the annual reporting and recordkeeping hour and cost burden for SSOs to $78.93/hour, based on the fully loaded wage rate for Managers, All Other as provided by BLS and described in Q12. For two of the instruments, the Department has revised the estimated number of respondents. For three of the instruments, the Department has reduced the estimated average burden per response. Finally, this ICR includes burden estimates for a new instrument titled “Declaration of Reporting Status.” Taking into consideration all of these changes, the total annual estimate for reporting, recordkeeping, and cost burden under this collection has decreased from $63,692 to $42,565; increased responses from 2,963 to 4,393; decreased burden hours from 741 to 539.
